Sampling BASF Wines
Our hosts for this evening’s dinner and wine tasting were (l-r) Katja Schweder and Bernhard Wolff, BASF Wine Cellar. Katja was German Wine Queen in 2006-2007.
I interviewed them prior to dinner and learned that BASF has a wine cellar with 1 million bottles of wine, including over 4,000 kinds of wine. Picking a selection to go with menu items like salmon, venison and lamb chops had to be difficult but they did it with ease. In fact, each of them picked a different wine for each course. To top it all off we were treated to a 1929 Maury wine which you would have to taste to believe.
Katja says that for her, working for BASF is “the next step up” from being Wine Queen. She’s got a bright future ahead of her.
